CALVIN ALBERT – ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST - PROMINENT ARTIST AND SCULPTOR

THIS SCULPTURE weighs 7 pounds

Calvin's BRONZE SCULPTURES embrace a figurative tradition but with a distinctly abstract attitude. He paid homage to the unfinished works of Michelangelo and adds to this a modernist geometric element of his abstract expressionism! His purposeful uses distortions to give the sculpture a sense of emotions!
This piece is part of a very large collection of Calvin's works including Charcoals Drawings, Bronze, Terra Cotta, Fiberglass, Plaster, and Resin with Gesso Sculptures. Please inquire about additional pieces and prices.
